This versatality makes these TECC candles suitable for a very wide range of application such as filtration of gases like H2, N2, Cl2, CO2, Air etc. and aqueous & non-aqueous liquids and solutions at almost all operating temperatures and pressures. Besides TECC Candles can be manufactured in various sizes to suit the customer's requirement. One of the important application is filtration of Air Ammonia mixture upstream of Platinum gauge catalyst in Nitric Acid Plant.
